But he scarcely believed it himself, and so his prophecies were not convincing. "What's the good of being decent?" asked Paul dolefully. "I wish I'd gone to Robinson." "No, you don't," said Neil. "You'd rather sit on the side-line at Erskine than play with a lot of hired sluggers." "Much you know about it," Paul growled. "If I don't get into the Robinson game I'll I'll leave college."
Mighty few fellows could send the ball all the way from deep center to the home plate, as straight as a die. That kid's name is Sandy Dowd. You may not be so glad to see him work later on, O. K. Just warn your sluggers they needn't expect any home-runs if they put the ball out in center." They stood there and watched for some little time.
The great universities had long idolized plug-ugly football kickers and baseball sluggers to the utter ignoring of scholarship, until the hordes of eleemosinary prize-fighters among the so-called students created a reign of terror where they were located, and far surpassed in ferocity even the gladiators of ancient Rome.
You get two or three of your chums and come around here about 2 o'clock, and I will go with you, and stand between you and the sluggers, and see this game out. I don't want to go, and detest the game, but I will go to please you," and the old man looked wise and fatherly. "Oh, you don't want to go, like the way the woman kept tavern in Michigan," said the boy, as he edged toward the door.

There was five men 'p'inted to-day to do up the scabs an' the kickers who won't go out. They near killed him once in Newark for kickin'. It was that time, you know, when Katie was first took bad." "Do ye know their names?" said Tom, her eyes flashing.
"I want to speak to you," he replied. "What is it?" "I want to speak to you." God showed me in a vision two men crouched on each side of the door ready to either catch or slug me, if the door was opened. "I see you sluggers on each side of the door. You villain, you have tried to murder me by throwing poison in my room and now you are trying something else." "There is a mob here after you."
